A Place in the Choir
Embracing Harmony: Each Voice Finds Its Tune
Lyrics
All God's creatures got a place in the choir
All living beings are part of a greater collective, each having a role to play in the world.
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some have different vocal ranges, depicting diversity among creatures.
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some express themselves openly and loudly, even if it's on unconventional platforms like a telephone wire.
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now
Animals and beings express themselves in their unique ways, utilizing what they have at their disposal.
All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Reiteration of the idea that all creatures have a place and purpose in the world's symphony.
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Similar to line 2, emphasizing diversity in vocal pitches and roles.
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Reiteration of expressing oneself regardless of where or how, drawing attention to varied means of expression.
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now
Reinforcing the notion that beings use whatever they have available to participate.
Listen to the top where the little bird sings
Highlighting the bird's high-pitched contribution, perhaps symbolizing optimism or elevated thoughts.
On the melodies and the high notes ringing,
Emphasizing the beauty of high notes and melodious tunes.
And the hoot owl cries over everything
Depiction of a mournful cry, symbolizing sorrow or a darker aspect amidst the harmonious chorus.
And the blackbird disagrees
Conflict or dissent represented by the blackbird's disagreement within the choir.
Singing in the night time, singing in the day,
Illustrating the constant singing and participation of various creatures both in the day and night.
When little duck quacks, and he's on his way
Portraying the duck's contribution to the choir while in transit.
And the otter hasn't got much to say
Symbolizing a quieter or less vocal contribution, suggesting everyone has a role, even if it's less prominent.
And the porcupine talks to himself
Depicting an individualistic or solitary contribution within the larger chorus.
All God's creatures got a place in the choir

Emphasizing the importance of the bass, the foundation, in the choir's musical arrangement.
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Depicting the diverse sounds and contributions of creatures, each with its unique voice.
Moans and groans with a big t'do
-And the old cow just goes moo
-All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Reiteration of the notion that every creature participates in its unique way, contributing to the collective song.
